I don't know about ominous - something as crazily ambitious as this was always going to take longer than they initially estimated, and I doubt the game will get cancelled or anything. If they can use that time to get it into better shape then that's cool.

It's more the continuous delays that worry me, when a company keeps thinking they will hit a certain release window and then keeps missing it you can't help but be concerned. Especially when it is a Kickstarter backed project from an unknown developer. Consistent delays would suggest they are struggling with something fundamental within the game.

Ah, the Star Citizen model!

I hear you Dj, I tend to give Kickstarter games a lot more slack for that kind of thing though - with it being tough to judge exactly what you can do with the money you make, and it's usually the studio's first game, etc etc. I would be a lot more annoyed if it was an established dev with a publisher, but then that rarely happens in that situation because the game will just get stuff cut out and slapped on shelves to make a deadline.
